\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThese bills passed today are excellent examples of smart bipartisan solutions that tackle climate change, unlike the unrealistic Green New Deal. Moving these to the full Senate is a critical step toward developing the federal goals and public-private partnerships necessary to cross a valley of death that often stops groundbreaking innovation from winning in the marketplace. It\u2019s also another great example of the bipartisan support on Capitol Hill for reducing carbon emissions and forging ahead with the next-generation of clean and reliable nuclear and carbon capture technologies that China, Russia and others are trying to corner the global market on.\u201d

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cBaseload clean energy technologies are a prudent, low-cost means of reducing carbon emissions. The includes nuclear energy, by far the largest and safest source of clean energy in the United States \u2013 generating 20% of total U.S. electricity and 60% of low emission electricity. Nuclear energy is a proven resource that ultimately bolsters air quality, and energy security. The UAMPS CFPP to provide electricity from a NuScale Power Small Modular Reactor (SMR) represents the most advanced and safest nuclear design in the history of water-cooled nuclear energy, and will ultimately reap dividends for UAMPS ratepayers.\u201d
